DRV8832: Stop motor by sensing current (DRV8874)

Part Number: DRV8832
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8847, TXS0102, DRV8850, LM339

Hello,

I would like to use DRV8847 and stall detection method as shown in this A.N. https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva858/slva858.pdf

But the difference is my power supply is expected to be 3,3 V instead of 12V. This provides an output of 1,65 V so some adaptation will be needed to raise logic voltage in order to match my MCU (from Vmotor:1,65V to Vih-min-mcu = 2,475V). What adaptation do you recommend? . My guess:

- OpAmp (G = 2).

- Voltage comparator. Could you suggest a part?

- Level adapter (TXS0102). But I am afraid this solution requires a stable power supply in both sides. right? so I would need an extra regulator, right?

What adaptation do you recommend? 

Other thing: I am also thinking about using DRV8850 Since this part does not provide current regulation/chopping the previous stall detection circuit would not apply, right? I think I would have to use Vpropi as stall detector instead. In this case, what do you recommend to capture Vpropi? ADC o voltage comparator?

Regards, Ramon.

  • Ramon,

    if the part number is the title doesn't match the content, it could cause extra delay.

    If MCU doesn't have extra ADC pin to read out the back EMF voltage, a comparator is a good option. Please check LM339 comparator.

    If you use Vpropi as stall detection signal, you can check LM339 comparator.

    I am not familiar the Level adapter (TXS0102). Please post the TXS0102 question to the e2e logic forum https://e2e.ti.com/support/logic/f/151
